I called the folks at http://www.carbconn.com - $75 including A/F, per car, IF we can get 5 cars to show up.

I've dyno'd before with them; seem like quality people. The number is runs per car varies. Their policy is "we'll run the car a couple-three times; but when the numbers start repeating, we'll put the next car on. There's no sense in running a car over and over again to show the same results."

I think any CZ/EManage folks would have plenty of time to tune in a little more, or little less fuel, etc., between runs.


So -

Sign up now, and I'll make the reservation!

oops!! Edit!
26 FEB...NOT 16 Feb :)

I'm in :D

That's 2 of us. three more! :)

Wish I could. To bad I have family coming into town that weekend.

I'm in for Feb. 26th

They don't list this date on their schedule of events :confused:

It's because I need 5 paying cars to get the group rate; not going to reserve the day until I can get to '5'. Are you in meaning 'Paying car #3?' :D

I'd like to Dyno group rate or not. Do I need to make an appointment if we do not get 5? Or can you call them and tell them? What is the price without the group rate?

Yes "Paying #3" or paying no-group rate.

Man,, too bad, I will probably be in Vancouver, BC that weekend… plus my car is pretty much stock…
I been to CarbConn few years ago to have my friend’s GTI dynoed.. That car only had 170 hp at the front wheel but the Torque was some where around 230lbs. ft!!!!!! Too bad it couldn’t keep that torque up in the mid-high rpm range to get more horse power….

Anyway, have fun!!!…
man, I really wish I could go and watch…

My car is stock - that's the point of the dyno session :)

Im not sure if I want to spend the money, but I am curious what my car is stock.

Im 50/50 on wanting to pay for this, but I may show up to watch since its only like 20 minutes from my house.

If you cant get a fifth I may pony up the dough.

Mine is slightly modified, Racing Beat CAT-back exhaust, AFE high flow filter element, Lineage ground wires. But I might have my MS flywheel installed by then also...

I'll still go no matter if we have 5 or not, will you?

..not for there normal price - I've put out the word to my Miata pals - I think I can get 5 cars, just not 5 rx8s. Also, I'm following up on a place which charges $25 for a couple pulls...still in the seattle area.

OK, just let me know - thanks

Does it have to be an RX-8? My wife doesn't care what her RX-8 dynos at, but I'm curious about my S2000.

Bring the S2K :) ONLY if you take me for a ride in it.. :)

There will likely be Miatas, RX8s, and now, an S2K :D

Does this mean we have enough for the group rate?

If I can get Cam to say 'For Sure' I'll be there, I'll schedule it. :)

I'm in.

This seems like a very good price; is it an accurate test?

It's as accurate as any test...dynojet dynometer... :) I've used it before w/ my miata.

Ill surrender to the peer pressure :D , count me in.

Okay then - 26 Feb, if we can get there by 9:30-9:45 we can have first car on the rollers at 10am.

yay! :)

Excellent! That'll be interesting.

I'll be there at 9:30, is there a breakfast nook around for a coffee?

I bet there's a starbucks nearby :-D

hehe

we're dynoing at the 'pink marker' -
